Yan Siming also said, "If there is an emergency, just open this and put it in the sky. No matter where I am, as long as I see it, I will rush back."

It was only then that Grandpa Wang learned that Yan Siming was the General Yan who guarded the border and prevented the enemy from crossing it even a step.

However, Grandpa Wang didn't inquire why Yan Siming was here.

Ah Li knew that Yan Siming had come back, but he never appeared in front of her. Instead, he hid in the shadows and secretly watched her live a good life.

Ahri wouldn't deliberately bump into him; let the person avoid him if they want.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, a village girl, alone, suddenly encountered several bandits.

After capturing the girl, the bandits said, "It's the chief's birthday in a couple of days. Let's take this girl back and give her to the chief as a birthday gift!"

"I think it's a good idea, but I heard that a group of bandits from a certain mountain were wiped out recently. Won't we get into trouble by doing this?"

"Go away, go away, what trouble is there? It's just that we kidnapped a girl and brought her up the mountain."

The bandits didn't bother to hide anything and started talking right in front of the girl.

The girl cried out, "I'm not the prettiest girl in our village! If you're going to send a woman to your chief as a birthday gift, shouldn't you choose the prettiest one? We have the prettiest girl in our village!"

Upon hearing this, the bandit's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How beautiful?"

"Why don't you go and see for yourselves and see for yourselves?"

After the girl finished speaking, she thought to herself: "Silly girl, I'm sorry. But you're all alone in the village, and I still have parents to support, and my younger siblings are still small. You'll understand, right?"
